”The most frequent vote-buying schemes are related to financial payments, through persons known back in time, but new ones also appear in the process of the current elections.” This is what Interior Minister Atanas Ilkov told bTV.
He explained that there are reports that 500 BGN will be given at polling stations, but until the verification is completed, it cannot be said whether this is 100% true.
„We had a similar case, today in the 7th district a signal was received for Varna that a person will receive a million and give it to someone else to buy votes for a certain party. An investigation was immediately launched and it became clear that the two persons were alcoholics and led a nomadic lifestyle. One is even a bum. "There is no way to give a million to such people to buy and sell votes," the interior minister explained.
He also commented on the signal about the planned future death of Delyan Peevski, stating that rather his security was not increased.
A curious detail appeared about the arrest of Jeyhan Ibryamov. The site “Mediapool” reported that in the testimony of the main witness in the investigation – Miroslav Todorov, there is talk of the murder of Delyan Peevski. At the meeting with Todorov, Jeyhan Ibryamov quoted Ahmed Dogan and said that “it won't be like this, they will kill the boy in the future.
A few days ago, it became clear that the Court of Appeal confirmed the most severe measure of remand for Ceyhan Ibryamov – “retention in custody”. It is final and not subject to appeal.
The court accepted that there is an extremely high degree of public danger of the act. In addition, Ibryamov – in his capacity as a member of parliament and as a candidate for member of parliament, he may be dangerous. The current judicial composition fully shares the considerations of the SGS in relation to the existence of a real danger of committing a crime. In the case, there are data that the amount of BGN 100,000 in question was going to be used to buy votes.
Regarding the arrest of Ibryamov Ilchev said that there was nothing illegal.
